What actor_unlock does on Uefn

AI agents use actor_unlock to create or update resources in Uefn — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Uefn environment.

Why actor_unlock needs a policy

This tool changes the editable state of actor properties (transform locks) in a reversible manner. It is not destructive (the actor and its data remain intact), not a read operation (it modifies state), and not execution of arbitrary code. It falls under Write as it modifies actor configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Unlock actor transforms to allow movement again.' This modifies the state of an actor's transform locks in the Unreal Editor.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access actor_unlock gives an agent:

How to control actor_unlock

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Uefn, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for actor_unlock:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "actor_unlock": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "actor_unlock_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

actor_unlock stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Uefn — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
